Nice reddish mahogany in color. Oak, cherry, nuts on the nose, little on the sweet side of them. My palate in really liking this one: soft cigar, oak, sweet cherry, alcohol taste is really likable. Various notes linger long time. Tasted this in room temperature and I would say, no for ice cubes. This goes well in tastings, conversations and even as a desert with creamcoffee on the side.
Tonight’s Rum, Ron Barceló Onyx from the Dominican Republic. Another selection from the BC Liquor Spirits sale. So disappointed BC gets so few decent Rums… Anyhow, since my first visit to DR I’ve seen their Rums get better and better. Onyx Hopefully this one will shine. Let’s get to it!
In the glass, this Rum the Onyx is dark, like a well aged Rum. Honey tempered, copper brown, or mahogany. It looks welcoming. The nose is what I would say is true Rum, no artificial or off putting odors. I get caramelized orange and vanilla with a hint of coconut. I like it.
The first hit is easy, but dryer than one might expect, but even though I prefer a sweeter Rum, I’m okay with it. Flavours are subtle with nothing standing out. I get orange, but beyond there I find it hard to break down… If pushed, I’d say flavours include, brown sugar, orange peel, pepper, and a shadow of honey. Honey flavour, but not sweetness. It’s a Rum full of complexity.
In the throat it’s got a significant warmth to it. It lingers far longer than most Rums and in the mouth, the pepper lasts well after you push it down. You will notice this Rum after the first sip.
Overall, it’s decent Rum, but loses points, not necessarily if you like dry Rums, for being dry like a Lowland Scotch. Some may rate it higher. Oddly though, I do find myself looking for another sip.
I’ll give this Rum a high 7, pushing 8/10, solely because of the dryness. I would say, best served neat. #364 of my 500 Rum Goal. I keep thinking I need to go to Barbados to add 50 or so to my list, including St. Nicholas Abbey 18 which is highlighted in my Rum centric novel.

Nose: shy (especially compared to the regular Imperial), some sweet caramel and some wood. Maybe a hint of cherry.
Palate: dry, mild, smooth, with soft hints of wood, but not sweet. Taste lasts long, but is not very voluminous.
Es curioso todo iba de forma muy interesante, en nariz los aromas a roble bien cuando entra en boca parece muy equilibrado con bastante sabor a caramelo vainilla etc, etc pero sobre todo parece suave hasta qué pasa por garganta y sale todo el alcohol, esa parte es lo que menos me ha gustado luego queda un regusto bastante agradable.....pero por 25€ que quiero? Una solera de 30anos? Eso es imposible y cada vez más, me parece muy decente no se si lo volveré a comprar....hay tantos rones........( Buenos, mejores y mejor olvidar).......
Onyx could be good if it aged a bit longer. It's very sharp at the end taking away from what I assume would be a good complex finish.
carbune , da . e primul gand care ma incearca si la miros si la degustare . un rom subtire care inunda gura si invaluie limba cu mici intepaturi de alcool si imprastie aromele de carbune , caramel , lemn si piele si parca ar fi fructat pe fundal cu o aliura dulce .
Desi se simte cam pronuntat alcoolul au balansat lasandu l la 38 grade.
Un rom placut .

coal, yes. is the first thought that tempts me both at the smell and at the tasting. a thin rum that floods the mouth and envelops the tongue with small stings of alcohol and spreads the aromas of charcoal, caramel, wood and leather and as if it were fruity in the background with a sweet allure.
Although it feels a bit pronounced, they balanced the alcohol by leaving it at 38 degrees.
A pleasant rum.

I enjoy this with a lime on the rocks. It does have a whiskey feel, so a rum purist may not like this one.
